Hole of the day

Into the wind in Thursday's first round, No. 9 was the hardest hole, playing nearly a half-stroke over par (4.436).

The 479-yard par 4 was made even tougher with a tight pin location on the far-left portion of a large green.

Players needed to hit a mid-to-long iron - typically from 200 yards out - into a green guarded by a pond short and left of the green. The ninth hole yielded just eight birdies and 45 bogeys. There were also 14 double-bogeys and one triple-bogey.

Michael Putnam was the only player in the group at 6 under to make a birdie, needing a 30-footer.

"It's playing back in the wind and is a little longer and I didn't hit it close, you know, I had to make a bomb," he said.
